The lineup includes InReach vending units, a Starbucks Serenade machine and a Yo-Kai Express hot ramen noodle bowl machine, the first-of-its-kind on the East Coast.

The Serenade single-cup, bean-to-cup brewer features a 17-inch touchscreen.

Yo-Kai Express serves contactless, freshly prepared meals. The cooking technology creates hot ramen noodles on-demand, featuring Tonkotsu Ramen, Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, Vegan Ramen and Spicy Chicken Paitan Ramen.
